Re: Man Beaten By Mob, Arrests Expected Today

This will be page three stuff and the media will whip no one into a frenzy. Among crimes, white on black is stop-the-press newsworthy, black on white or black on black not so much. It really is that simple.

Re: Man Beaten By Mob, Arrests Expected Today

The perps need to be rounded up and charged with attempted murder. There is no excuse. They should be easy to find. They're older relatives of the kids that were playing basketball.

That said, I wonder what Owens said to the kids playing basketball when he "fussed" at them. It must have been bad enough to enrage the perps. Your kid coming home and saying: "That man that lives by where we play basketball came out on the porch and fussed at us", isn't likely to enrage you enough to go beat him half to death.

Not only that, but which of those are "hate crimes"?

We went from sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me to safe spaces.

Re: Man Beaten By Mob, Arrests Expected Today

Wow, has THIS story ever morphed. It started with a mob beating a man, and now seems to be that it's Obama's fault that this happened.

There is another issue here - How some people here will put politics ahead of the story. My take on this? Arrest this group of punks and put them behind bars where they belong, but leave Holder and Obama out of it. They didn't commit the crime, or did they?

Finally, I believe that the vast majority of Americans want to see justice for Matthew Owens as well as justice for Trayvon Martin. Well, at least the police department in this case is not letting the perps walk free.

This is the fault of the blind-eye of liberalism that ignores the racism of the left, of the black community. This is the fault of the overt race pimps such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and of the current crop of less overt ones, such as Obama and Holder. This is the fault of the liberal press that it is not PC to point out the massive failure of the black community. That will tell us how tall a suspect is, but not what color they are.
